This article was in the New York Times. The article is about US citizens taking diabetes medicine and the effects of this movement. Hundreds of people in the United States take a diabetes pill called Avandia, a controversial medicine that causes heart failure and heart attacks itself.
Thinking back to our main topic about food, and the movie documentary "Food Inc". I think that the government should have shut down the meat industries instead of marketing these pills. The reports, obtained by The New York Times, say that if every diabetic now taking Avandia were instead given a similar pill named Actos, about 500 heart attacks and 300 cases of heart failure would be averted every month because Avandia can hurt the heart. So it really isn't the governments fault but if the government wants to shut down these pills because of the causes they should be able to shut down meat industries that causes those heart diseases. This article was not opinionated one , it was all stated clear facts about the drug causes. All though, I think that the author is trying to persuade the readers not to take those pills but also inform everyone about the drug harms.
